Operation method of gear shift lever
Manual shift cars, left-side steering wheel vehicles, transmission lever is installed on the right side of the driver's seat, or on the steering column, transmission lever grip, right hand palm stick to the ball head, five fingers naturally hold the ball head, manipulate the gear lever, two eyes look ahead, right hand with the power of the wrist accurately push in and pull out of gear, gear lever ball head can not be held too tight, In order to adapt to the needs of various gears and different directions of force.
Shifting technique
First step
Before going on the road, be sure to familiarize yourself with the position of each gear, because when you drive to the road, your eyes should always pay attention to the road surface and pedestrian vehicles, in order to cope with a variety of unknown emergencies at any time, and it is impossible to stare at the gear to shift, which is easy to have accidents.
The second step
When shifting, be sure to remember to step on the clutch to the end, otherwise it will not be hung into gear at all. Although the foot should be pressed harder, the hand can push and pull the gear shift lever more easily, and don't push too hard.
The third step
The first gear shift is to pull the gear shift lever to the left parallel to the end and push it upward; the second gear is to pull it directly down from the first gear; the third and fourth gears just let go of the gear shift lever and let it in the neutral position and push it directly up and down; the fifth gear is to push the gear shift lever to the right to the end and push it upward, and reverse it to the right behind the fifth gear. Some cars need to press the knob on the gear shift lever down to pull, and some do not, which depends on the specific model.
Step four
The gear must be raised in turn, according to the speed display on the tachometer to slowly increase in the order of two or three gears. Gear reduction is not so much about it, as long as you see the speed drop to a certain gear range, you can directly hang to that gear, such as directly from the fifth gear to the second gear, which is no problem.
The fifth step
As long as the car starts from a stopped position, it must start in first gear. The most negligent thing for beginners is that when waiting for the red light, they often forget to remove the gear shift lever from neutral, and then hit a gear, but start in several gears before stepping on the brake, so that the damage to the clutch and gearbox is relatively large, and it also costs oil.
Step six
Generally speaking, a gear is to play a starting and excessive role, often the car can be added to the second gear after a few seconds, and then according to the tachometer to a gear up. If you do not like to block, like in the second gear of the small speed of all kinds of leisure, feel that the speed is difficult to control. However, if the speed is increased and the gear is not correspondingly adjusted, then in this state of low speed, not only will the fuel consumption increase a lot, but also the gearbox is not good, and even cause the gearbox to overheat and damage in serious cases. So let's speed it up honestly.
Step seven
If you step on the brake, do not rush to reduce gear, because sometimes just gently click the brake, the speed is not significantly reduced, at this time as long as you step on the accelerator can continue to maintain the previous gear. However, if the brake is relatively heavy, the speed is significantly reduced, at this time, the gear shift lever should be changed to the corresponding gear according to the value displayed on the speed indicator.
